Chapter 24: New Friends and Old Foes
*ERROR'S P.O.V*
I smiled warmly at Ink and PJ as Ink was trying to teach him how to bake. Ink let out a little giggle as PJ poked the side of the bowl.
"Paperjam, what are you doing?" He asked softly. PJ just looked up at him and cocked his head to the side.
"I…. I dunno. What're we s'posed to be doing again?" He squeaked out. I laughed warmly.
"Ink, he's only 5. Do you really think he'll be able to focus long enough to bake?" I chuckled. He sighed and picked up our child, smiling.
"I know, but he wanted to help!" Ink said, beaming proudly. I rolled my eyes playfully and kissed their foreheads.
"Ink, he just wants to eat the dough." I said, slipping my hand into the bowl and scooping out a gwob of dough before picking off a piece and handing it to PJ. He smiled brightly and ate his piece while I plopped mine into my mouth, making Ink gasp and laugh.
"Error! What have I told you about eating the dough? There won't be enough for any cookies for you if you continue down this path." He warned, shooing me away. PJ squealed and wriggled in his arms.
"Momma! Momma put me down! I wanna go play with Daddy!" He pleaded. My heart swelled at the action and I smiled. Ink's expression softened and he set him down, pressing a kiss against his forehead.
"Alright, alright." He giggled. PJ waddled over to me and hugged my legs. I patted his head and smiled.
"Hey, you wanna head to somewhere special?" I whispered. He nodded excitedly and giggled. I looked up and picked up PJ.
"Inky, I'm gonna take PJ out, alright?" I said. He perked up and looked back at me, biting his lower lip.
"I… I don't know Error. He's still so young and I don't-" I cut him off with a kiss. He let out a small squeak of surprise before giving in and letting out a small hum in content. I chuckled and pressed our foreheads together, nuzzling his nose.
"Inky, it'll be alright. I promise. I'll be there with him." I whispered. He nodded and pressed a kiss against PJ's forehead.
"You be good for your father, okay?" He whispered. PJ nodded and hugged Ink.
"I will, Momma." He whispered back. Ink smiled and hugged us both before turning back to his baking.
"I want you two home by dinnertime." He said sternly. I chuckled and smirked.
"And if we aren't?" I pressed. PJ giggled and looked at Ink, waiting for his response. Ink turned his head towards us and I felt my cheeks heat up at the sight of his seductive look.
"Then you'll be missing out on quite a bit tonight." He winked, smirking at me. I nodded quickly.
"We'll be home BEFORE dinner." I promised. He laughed and nodded, blushing softly at my quick response.
"Good." He hummed, turning back to the counter. I nodded and opened up a portal, walking into another AU with PJ curled in my arms.
"Paperjam, your Momma is going to be the death of me." I wheezed, still flustered from the previous events. He giggled and smiled.
"You loo~ooove him!" He giggled. I chuckles and nodded.
"I do, PJ. I really do." I said softly, setting him down so he could walk on his own. He immediately grabbed onto my hand and I was more than happy to hold his. He looked around and furrowed his brows lightly.
"Daddy, where are we?" He asked. I smiled and stopped walking, kneeling down in front of him.
"Alright, you need to keep this to yourself, okay? This is TOP secret. You wanna help Daddy keep his secret?" I asked, whispering for effect. He nodded and pressed his lips together. I chuckled and smiled.
"Well, we're in a place called Outertale." I whispered. His eyed widened and his mouth fell agape slightly before furrowing his brows in confusion.
"But… Momma said that Outertale was corrupted and you had to make it go away." He said. I smiled and kissed his forehead.
"He ALSO said that it would be back one day because it was so popular. This was your Momma and I's favorite place to go out on dates." I whispered. He giggled and looked back up at me.
"Eww..." He giggled. I laughed and ruffled his skull.
"Say 'Eww' all you want kiddo, but I can promise you that someday you'll be going on dates with someone too." I chuckled. He giggled and looked around.
"It's really pretty here… Wait," He turned and looked up at me with a confused expression, "If this was Momma's favorite place then why won't you tell him about it?" He asked, clearly confused. I picked him up and led him through the trail that Ink had taken me through when we had our almost first kiss.
"Well, our anniversary is coming up soon. It'll be the day that I first asked him out in a few days and I really want to do something special for our 10 years of being together. So, I want to bring him back to where we had our first date." I whispered, pushing away the bushes and walking into the clearing. PJ gasped and looked up at the stars dotting across the sky.
"Wow…. I know why Momma likes this place now…" He whispered. I smiled and looked up at the sky, sitting down with PJ in my lap.
"Yeah… I know why too." I whispered back. He smiled and rested against my chest. I wrapped my arms around him and rested my head on his as we looked up at the stars together.
"I love you, Daddy…." He whispered. I smiled warmly and squeezed him lightly in my arms.
"I love you too, Paperjam." I said softly. He smiled and looked around in awe at all the stars. I smiled at his look of wondered and sighed in content.
I can't wait to see the look on Ink's face when I bring him here.
Paperjam wriggled closer to me and gripped onto my jacket.
"Daddy, who's that?" He whispered. I looked out to where he was looking and I saw another skeleton sitting down on the edge of Outertale, looking out at the stars. I chuckled softly.
"I believe that's Outertale Sans." I said softly. He perked up immediately and tugged on my hoodie.
"Oh can we go meet him? Please Daddy?" He pleaded. I laughed warmly and stood up, pulling him up with me.
"Okay, okay! I promised your Momma we'd be home before dinner so we have just a little time left, but if you want to go meet him during that time then that's fine by me." I said, patting his skull. It'd be nice to introduce myself to the new and improved Outertale Sans considering the last time he saw me I was ripping apart his entire world. I shuddered at the thought and looked down at PJ to discover he was already halfway to the other skeleton.
"Paperjam!" I yelled, jogging after him. He giggled and continued skipping along towards the skeleton, who looked up at my yelling. I immediately stopped in my tracks and stood in shock at who was sitting there.
*PJ'S P.O.V*
I hopped over to the other Sans and smiled brightly when he looked my way. He had a very colorful outfit and sunglasses that said "What" on them as I plopped in front of him.
"Hello!" I said cheerfully. He looked at me for a moment before jumping slightly.
"Yo, you're Error and Ink's little dude, right?" He asked. I giggled at the way he spoke and nodded.
"Mm hm! I'm here with my Daddy and he said I could come over and say hello!" I cheered. He nodded and looked up behind me. I turned and saw Daddy standing beside me with his hands in his pockets. He smiled at me and looked at the other skeleton.
"Didn't know you'd be here." He said flatly. The other skeleton shrugged and smiled sheepishly.
"Eh, well… Figured I'd come see what all the hubbub was about." He answered. Daddy nodded and chuckled.
"Mm hm. Outertale is quite the place." He said. I looked up at the other skeleton and smiled, holding out my hand like Momma taught me.
"Hi! My name's Paperjam! It's nice to meet you!" I said, looking up at him. He smiled and took my hand in his, giving it a little shake, making me giggle. He chuckled and slid his shades down slightly so I could catch a glimpse of his eyes. I felt an unfamiliar tightness in my chest when I saw his purple eyes.
I thought they were beautiful.
He winked at me and let go of my hand before pushing his glasses back up and slipping his hands in his pockets.
"The name's Fresh, yo. It's nice to meet you little broski. " He replied. I smiled and nodded at him, giggling softly. Daddy coughed from behind me and I looked up at him. He smiled and held out his hand.
"Alright, PJ it's time to start heading home. I promised Momma we'd be home before dinner." He said softly. I whined but stood up and grabbed his hand.
"Will there be Mac and Cheese?" I asked, looking up at him. He chuckled and winked at me.
"When is there not?" He laughed. I giggled and smiled brightly as he began leading me back the way we came. I turned back for a moment and waved at my new friend with my free hand.
"Goodbye Mr. Fresh! I hope I can see you again!" I called. Daddy chuckled lightly and squeezed my hand.
"I'm sure you will, PJ." He assured, even though I'm pretty sure I saw him giving an angry look at Mr. Fresh. Mr. Fresh didn't seemed phased by it though and smiled even brighter.
"Bye Jammy!" He called. I smiled at the nickname and waved a final time before Daddy finally brought me through the magic door to our home. I felt myself growing giddy with excitement.
I made a new friend!
To make up for my super short last chapter, I made this one much longer! I hope it'll suffice :)
Now, I'm thinking that in future chapters I'd like to add some citrus to the mix (lemon, lol) So if you're for it: TELL ME! And if you aren't: ALSO TELL ME! XD There is no wrong answer!
But I will say that IF there is lemon in a chapter I will warn you in the title as well as within the chapter:
